Cool temperatures mean it’s time to bundle up in your warmest layers, and celebrities are showing us the most fashionable coats to wear this season.
One of the returning trends that Hollywood breaks out every winter is the trench coat, which is a timeless staple that can be dressed up or down. For those who already have the classic style, take inspiration from Katie Holmes with a long plaid coat. And as temperatures continue to dip, consider grabbing a fuzzy fleece jacket similar to the one we spotted on Jennifer Lopez.
We found comfy and stylish coats inspired by stars from Amazon, Nordstrom, J.Crew, and more that will protect you from the elements in the weeks ahead — starting at $30.
This button coat, which reminds us of a recent look from Martha Stewart, is a no-brainer for fall-to-winter dressing. It comes in a warm wool fabric and has functional side pockets that protect your hands from the elements, along with a row of eye-catching front buttons. Snag it in two seasonal hues: black and red.
In September, Angelina Jolie wore one of Hollywood’s favorite styles. Duster coats, like this one from Mango, are a timeless staple. The long length and open-front design makes it a top choice for layering over sweaters, blouses, and more. Plus, it has deep side pockets.
Brooke Shields, Gwyneth Paltrow, and more stars have been spotted wearing trench coats. This best-selling one at Amazon is on double sale, and it’s available in 25 colors. One reviewer said they were a fan of the “water-resistant” fabric that “doesn’t wrinkle.”
Jennifer Lopez has been wearing one particular winter style on repeat: warm fleece coats. This Levi’s option at Nordstrom is as fuzzy as it gets, thanks to teddy-like fabric. The long silhouette and oversized design make it practical for winter weather. Bonus: It’s machine-washable for an easy clean.
Katie Holmes was bundled up in a long patterned coat while out in New York City. Get in on the trend with this similar style from Cider, which comes in a trendy houndstooth pattern. The long silhouette keeps your legs warm, whether you wear the coat over jeans, trousers, or tights. It also has an adjustable belt.
If you need a lightweight coat, consider this Lily Silk long cardigan, which reminds us of a style Jolie wore in late October. It’s made of a blend of cashmere and wool, and the button-free, open-front design makes it easy to slip on.
Stars like Kate Hudson and Gabrielle Union have previously reached for leather-like coats, and this one by Open Edit is as sleek as it gets. It’s made from a faux leather material that instantly dresses up -
your outfit, no matter what you wear it with. The trench coat is available in black or burgundy, two seasonal staple hues.
For those that already have a khaki trench coat, consider getting in on the trend with a statement hue, like the coat Eva Longoria wore when she was out in New York City this fall. The trench coat has a pointed collar, buttons, and two functional flap pockets. It’s machine-washable, too. Pair it with a leopard print dress like Longoria to really stand out.
So many stars wear plaid, and you can try out the trend in the form of a warm coat, like Holmes did recently, with this option at Amazon. It has an oversized silhouette and a row of eye-catching buttons. The chest flap pockets are stylish and practical.

Speaking of red coats, Swift wore a teddy version of the bold style at a Kansas City Chiefs game last December. Not only is the red hue seasonal, but the cozy teddy fabric of this similar style at American Eagle makes it winter-friendly.
